Deauville, France

On our way to Belgium we stopped in Deauville for some beach time. I had seen pictures of the Deauville umbrellas on Meg's blog so I was pleasantly surprised that we had parked right in front of them. I couldn't believe how great the umbrellas were, all brightly colored and lined up right in a row. It was pretty perfect. Deauville is a charming and relaxed bordwalk-y town. The kind of place where you get the feeling every person there is on vacation. It is very near the D-Day Normandy beaches so worth a stop if you are touring those anyway.

    I can't help but think how much they look like very colorful mullets...

    Sunshine in the front, cool breeze in the back.

    Oh how I wish I was there right now. It looks amazing! BTW I dont really comment often but I can't tell how cool it is that you packed up and moved to Paris for you a year. I have been to Paris twice and reading you posts makes me want to go back even more each day.

    Thank you for sharing :)

    Next time you're in the area, lunch at Honfleur is also very classic, picture perfect and very much worth a stop.

    Thanks for the linkage :)
    Deauville really is so lovely, and it's fun to pop into the casino after some drinks and snacks on the seaside!

    What beautiful umbrellas! They make me long for summer days on the beach in France! Until then, I might just have to go out and get a smaller, yet brightly colored umbrella for beach season here in California. :)
